Geometric Print Jewelry

"And they say,

She's in the class A- Team

Stuck in her daydreams

Been this way since 18"

Oh hey there stranger.

Okay I would do a long guilt-ridden intro about how I suck at blogging and how I'll get better but let's just got to the chase, now shall we?

So, if you haven't noticed, one of the hottest trends of the summer is geometric prints. And when I say geometric prints I mean like straight up 4th period geometry class back in 8th grade with the stupid triangles and coordinate planes. Remember obtuse triangles with one angle over 90 degrees. Yeah, those.

But not to fret, ladies because we won't have to classify the type of triangles based on the measure of their angles. Instead, we'll just be using them as statement pieces.

Now of course, geometric prints don't HAVE to be statement pieces, but like c'mon. They've got those nice bold, sharp edges that scream for your attention, and the great thing is that they're very chic and sophisticated so they don't overwhelm you. Depending on how you put together your outfit of course.

And when it comes to making a statement, JEWELRY is your best friend. It can really turn any simple outfit into a DANG GIRL outfit---without overdoing it

So one of my FAVORITE things when it comes to this trend is triangle necklaces. I prefer the ones that have 5 smaller pennet shaped triangles (or isosceles triangles if you want to be specific...) on a short necklace chain.


Here's one I adore from House of Harlow:

Now of course there's a lot of variation on these necklaces including ones that include a pyramid of triangles:





And I think this one is the most widely available, and I'm pretty sure they sell this kind at Forever 21:




Another popular "triangle necklace" is simply, a couple triangles on a chain.

Now let me tell you that I am like college girl broke SO urban outfitters is usually out of my league... er price range, but a girl can dream right?


This is my favorite piece from their current collection:

 


Isn't that just stunning? So simple, but so chic.

And to top it all offfffffff... HERE COMES. And are ya'll ready for this?

GEOMETRIC PRINT ON TOP OF GEOMETRIC SHAPE. 


Holy. Shizzz. You probably need to sit down for this one. Mind. Blown. Simply genius.  
Can we all just like admire the sheer intelligence it takes to design this piece? 

Okay. We can move on now.

Next we have:

EARRINGS!!
Can I get a "hell yeah"?

These earrings are gorgeous:

They're SO simple. Just triangles, but they are so stunning and unexpected. And the gold makes them look classic. Like "you could see Kate Middleton donning these classic".

Okay that might be a little pushing it...

BUT you know someone that WOULD wear these??? THATS RIGHT

ARIA MONTGOMERY from pretty little liars.

Goodness I love her style.

Okay in Season 3 Episode 7, Aka 'Crazy'

She wears these killer neon triangle earrings that the nurse makes her take off when she visits Mona in the insane asylum, and if you watch the episode you can see them.

Here's the best shot I could find....




Yay :) Doesn't it just make her outfit pop?

See ladies, thats the magic of geometric print, especially with her mostly neutral black and white outfit.

Alright it's getting late so I must sign off. But happy shopping!

fashion obsessions

"I let it fall, my heart, and as it fell you rose to claim it. It was dark and I was over, until you kissed my lips and you saved me."
- "Set Fire to the Rain", Adele

Ah. This song is absolutely amazing. Adele's voice is breathtakingly beautiful as always, but in this song, it brims with so much emotion that I just want to snuggle up into the nook of my bed and cry. Dayummm that girl can sing. Please listen to this song. Especially when it's crashing thunder and pouring down rain. Try http://www.rainymood.com/ with http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlsBObg-1BQ. It will blow your mind. (:

Anyway. Today I was in the unfortunate event of walking outside in the whipping winds with my friend, and I, of course, chose this day to wear these paper thin jeans. God, I'm so freaking brilliant. And while sub-zero tempertures are not ideal for the flowy tank tops that I absolutely adore, they are perfect for layering.

But before I go into today's fashion obsessions, a little background on my style:
Usually my style is very, girly? I want to say, but with a little more refinement.

Lace is literally my favorite texture to add, especially if its cream colored, along with some floral print, or ruffled tops, preferably a baby pink color. That picture above is basically all the things I love about fashion, all in captured in one photo. And while I still adore these items, I've kind of moved on from this girliness to being intrigued with a more dark, sophisiticated look.

And lately, my inspiration has been Aria from the show Pretty Little Liars, and while I will not get into my feelings about that show, I will give props to this girl because her style is so fearless. Bohemian and flowy, while theatrical and bold, all rooted in a dark, mysterious undertone. Yes please.



I love her feather earrings, and personally, I think she boosted the feather earring trend singlehandedly, but I could completely wrong. The textures and mix of prints look like she just picked up random pieces scattered across her bedroom floor and threw it on. So jealous. Another TV icon who has this amazing talent, Serena Van Der Woodsen aka Blake Lively. Love love love that girl.


So along those, I just woke up from bed with my perfectly tousled beach waves, threw on some random, but incredibly chic and spot-light stealing pieces, and headed out the door with a skinny Starbucks Peppermint Mocha in hand (which I LOVE, btw), lines, they are like my fashion idols.

But back to winter and layering, these scarves are gorgeous, and they add so much texture, boldness and that extra pop of color to an otherwise simple outfit. Plus, they're so fluffy and thick that you're all bundled up for those freezing winter temps. The black (navy?) skinnies and charcol colored sweater go along with the dark-Aria-theme, so what's not to love?! Now doesn't that look so cozy on freeze-your-ass-off days?
